The Karnataka Budget outlines a welcome and balanced approach to strengthening the state’s healthcare ecosystem, with emphasis on preventive care, infrastructure expansion, and digital transformation.
At WIKA, we follow a structured compensation framework that ensures role-based pay parity, independent of gender. Regular internal audits and market benchmarking help us stay aligned to fair pay practices.
The era of viewing Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an optional add-on or a standalone technology initiative is firmly behind us. In 2026, AI will no longer sit at the periphery of Human Resources, it will become the central nervous system powering people strategy.
